Maurice on the right end you have a switch back through the backdrop to
staging. I was thinking that cars would arrive on scene from the left end
then have to be properly organized -- red box car to spot #1, yellow box
top #2 etc. given the switch back they would be ahead of the loco departing
the runaround. Of course you would have to pull the cars that are already
there-maybe #2 has to be worked into the cut because it has to stay another
shift.

Ok, I saw several files that were in both groups file area and so I
assumed that Yahoo made us share.
"I like your new plan--any chance you can use a curved turnout at the
left end to lenghten the runaround a little?"
A curved tunrout would be nice, but I don't know of a commercially
available Code83 curved turnout with a 15 inch radius. Hand-laying is
not something I am interested in right now.
"The switch back to the off scene staging would offer an oppurtunity
for "sure spot" switching to a hidden industry. The cars would have
to be in a certain order to line up with unseen doors, ramps or what
ever at the hidden site. The hole in the backdrop could be between
buildings with an overhead 3rd story bridge implying that the rail
service is on the other side."
I am not sure where you are suggesting this. I understand the
concept, Tony Koester wrote about it in MRP 1995.
